Today’s song is from an almost 90 year old film, Manzil-1936.
For a long time, I was searching for a song from this film, but none were available. Finally, I wrote to Shri Syed Jafer Shah ji and enquired if he has any song of this film, other than those already posted here. Promptly, he sent me today’s song- no.7 as per HFGK list. HFGK showed the singer’s name as Harimati, but the song sent by Jafer Bhai was sung by K.C.Dey. I pointed out this to him. He sent me the photo of the record No. 6764, which was tallying with the no. in HFGK. The film name was correct and the singer’s name was K.C.Dey. Obviously the song was correct. It seems that Harimati sang it in the film, but the record was in the voice of K.C.Dey. Or the HFGK had made a mistake in the singer’s name. Whatever it is, the song was correct as per the record number and details on it. So, no problem. Then our friend Sadanand ji Kamath uploaded it for me. Thanks to Jafer Bhai and Kamath ji.

Today’s song is from the film Maaya-1936.
The film was made by New Theatres, Calcutta, which was a leading filmmaking studio in India. The film was directed by P.C.Barua. The lyricist was Asghar Hussain Shor and the music directors were R.C.Boral and Pankaj Mullick. There were only 6 songs in this film, whereas the average number of songs in the period 1931 to 1940 was 9 songs/film. A total of 931 films were made in this decade, with an average of 9.3 films/yr. Total 8247 songs were in these films. Incidentally the lowest average of songs was 4.6 songs/film in the period 2011-2020 ( as per the statistics provided by Shri Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji in RMIM in January 2022.) I find that the number of songs in Hindi films made in Bengal were less compared to films made at other centres. This was apart from melody and popularity resting with Calcutta made films, on an All India Basis for the same period.

Today’s song is from the film Door Chalen-1946.
Since the time Talkie films arrived in India in the form of Aalam Ara-1931, the enthusiastic film industry, with a pushover from the silent era to the Talkie era, was busy in discovering itself. It was improving in every field as the years passed by. In the first 5-6 years the industry was desperately trying to be free from the clutches of stage music, drama style acting and contents of the films made.

Today’s song is from a film, which is not only a rare but also an obscure film, about which not much is known. The film is Mera Gaon-1942.
1942 was an important year in the Independence struggle of our country. The historical ” Quit India ” (चले जाव) movement was launched by Gandhiji. He had also appealed to Indians to march towards the villages, where the real India lay, according to his philosophy. Due to unemployment and frequent dry spells in the countryside, the farmers started an influx to the cities leaving their farms. His appeal was towards such people to go back to their villages.

As a result of this analysis and follow up action (in the form of posting the balance available songs from those years), we now have posted almost all available songs from 1931 to 1933, with just two songs each from 1932 and 1933 still left.

Sometimes in happens in nature. When particular facility is absent, the nature makes up for it by bestowing extra capabilities in other facilities. No other example is more eminent and more gifted in the Indian film industry, than KC Dey – an artist who lost his eyesight completely, just as he entered his teen years. And this apparent handicap was compensated by nature, by gifting the young Krishna Chandra with exceptional memory, an extraordinary understanding of the finer nuances of music, and a brilliant creativity that enabled him to be an outstanding artist in ways more than one.
Remembering the legendary KC Dey on the anniversary of his passing away (28th November).
